I don't understand what it is with some men who can't stand to talk on the phone. Personally the phone is a vital tool in communication. The phone is necessary.So why do men have such a hard time talking on one but can run off at the mouth in person?
Granted I know looking deep into someone's eyes might have a different effect, but just hearing the voice on the other end is enough for me. For most couples, you don't live together yet. So you want the occasional text message to see how the day is going and then a phone call before you go to sleep.
Not too much to ask?
I personally don't think so, but apparently it's like pulling teeth to get that. After a long day all I really want is to curl up in bed and talk to my boyfriend. I love seeing how his day was and our usual witty banter.
Well come to find out he hates the phone. Dilemma! I mean he is making the effort to get over the fear for me, which is completely appreciated. I mean really, completely appreciated. But c'mon there has to be a point where men get over the fear of the phone.
The phone can do wonders. You can send a quick message about dinner plans, or find out where you are meeting later, and then the one hour conversation time rolls around and they bail.
Is it the fear of the phone or fear of actually having to have conversation?
For me it's the fear of the awkward silence. I hate the silence sometimes. You hear, "oh you know you are in love when you can sit on the phone and not say anything at all." That's false. For me I need the phone conversations. Especially now that we are on summer break. We aren't together every day and going from that to nothing is a hard transition.
Men are complicated creatures. They like you. They want to date you. But they don't want to talk to you? What is that?
To me a good relationship relies on talking, conversation, communication. If you can't carry on a conversation without the fear then maybe it's time to re-evaluate.
Am I being overly harsh here? I mean I am a girl and I know what I like.
Do men have a fear of the phone or are they scared of the silence?
